Installing an ultra-left radical as Commander in Chief is having a predictable effect on the top ranks of the military. We caught a glimpse of it after the Fort Hood massacre, when former Army Chief of Staff George Casey Jr. responded by expressing his apparent primary concern, that the lunatic political correctness that allowed the bloodbath to happen might be impeded. A still more alarming effect is the shift in focus at the Pentagon from foreign enemies (communists and Islamists with whom Obama identifies) to domestic enemies (normal citizens who still believe in American values): Retired Col. Kevin Benson and Jennifer Weber, Associate Professor of History at the University of Kansas, co-wrote an article for Small Wars Journal on a 2010 Army report titled, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, The Army Operating Concept 2016 2028.
The report describes how the Army will respond to threats at home and abroad in the coming two decades and in doing so has made clear that a monumental cultural shift has occurred in the thinking of those at the top levels of military command. This shift has some government watchdogs worried, particularly given that Benson is using the platform provided at Fort Leavenworth to educate military personnel in his vision of the nature of modern warfare in America. According to the vision articulated by Benson, future warfare will be conducted on our own soil. The military will use its full force against our own citizens. The enemy will be average citizens whose values resonate with those articulated by the tea party.
The fictitious scenario used in the Army report as a teaching tool is a future insurrection of tea party activists in South Carolina. As the scenario goes, the tea party group stages a takeover of the town of Darlington, S.C.
A news conference is called by the new town leaders, all tea party activists, who tell the media that due to the failure of central government to address the concerns of the citizens, the Declaration of Independence has been re-imposed and the local government has been declared null and void. From the report:
When the leaders of the group hold a press conference to announce their goals, they invoke the Declaration of Independence and argue that the current form of the federal government is not deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed but is actually destructive to these ends. Therefore, they say, the people can alter or abolish the existing government and replace it with another that, in the words of the Declaration, shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. While mainstream politicians and citizens react with alarm, the tea party insurrectionists in South Carolina enjoy a groundswell of support from other tea party groups, militias, racist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan, anti-immigrant associations such as the Minutemen, and other right-wing groups.
Notice how ham-fistedly and incongruously the conspicuously peaceful and colorblind Tea Party is lumped in with violent racists like the KKK. The scenario consists of unadulterated hard-left propaganda. It tells you nothing about legitimate threats to the USA except by reflecting the mentality of those who control the government. They are clearly antagonistic to the American people and our individualist values.
Fortunately it could take a generation for Obamunism to seep down from the politically appointed top brass to the real Americans who make up the Armed Forces. With every day Barack Hussein remains in office, the Oath Keepers become more crucial.
